Three weeks after Bollywood faced flak for not including women in their delegation to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Karan Johar led another contingent — this time, the young brigade of Hindi cinema — to discuss how the industry can be instrumental in building a better society.

Elated to be part of the special discussion yesterday, Rao told mid-day, "Initiatives like these catalyse positive change, not just for cinema, but also for society. We hope to promote the cultural and geographical heritage of our country."

A source revealed that apart from thanking the PM for reducing the GST on cinema tickets, the discussion centred on censorship and the changing face of content in cinema. To commemorate the meeting, Johar shared a group selfie.
